When I first joined Twitter I wasn't clear on how to set up an account properly, and in trying to fix the first account I set up, and then again trying to fix the second I set up, and then finally setting up an account I was happy with, I ended up with three accounts, their names are: /kwunkgame, /beaukwunk, and /kwunk1. I only want one account, the one named /kwunkgame . . but the three accounts appear to be related in some way, and I'm afraid that if I deactivate /beaukwunk and /kwunk1, somehow /kwunkgame will also be deactivated. Can I safely deactivate /beaukwunk and /kwunk1 without effecting /kwunkgame in any way? Thanks!
You won't get penalized for having more than one account. Many people have several accounts; business, personal, beliefs, political. A person can end up with quite a few.
Hi for sale ~ But having the three accounts is problematic for me. For example, when I go to plain twitter.com. the related account is one I don't want. So it's important that I be able to get rid of two of the accounts. My question is: can deactivate them without effecting the account I want to keep?
No, you should be fine to deactivate the other two. Maybe tell any followers on the 2 to move over to the main account first.
Hi again for sale ~ It still looks like deactivating /kwunk1 and /beaukwunk will cause /kwunkgame to be deactivated. I wrote up this detailed description and tried to send it to twitter.com/TwitterSuppost, but they only give support for their mobile app and won't accept other kinds of questions. Here's the detailed situation: I've only been with Twitter about a month. When I started I was unclear on how to set up an account and I made the mistake of creating two accounts which I no longer want: /kwunk1 and /beaukwunk. I finally created an account I'm happy with and which I want to keep: /kwunkgame. I've tried to follow your instructions on deleting accounts for /kwunk1 and /beaukwunk, but there's a problem, and it's the same problem for each, so I'll just describe it with /kwunk1 . . as follows: First, notice that at /kwunk1 when you click the “Profile and settings” image, it brings up /kwunkgame instead of /kwunk1. I don't understand why, when I'm at /kwunk1 the “Profile and settings” button should bring up /kwunkgame. At /kwunk1 I click “Profile and settings” button > Account settings > “Settings and Privacy” . . and at the top it has “Username: kwunkgame” and under that is https://twitter.com/kwunkgame. So /kwunk1 and /kwunkgame are somehow related, making it impossible for me to deactivate /kwunk1 and keep /kwunkgame. Apparently deactivating /kwunk1 will also deactivate /kwunkgame, which is exactly what I don't want to do. How can I deactivate /kwunk1, and /beaukwunk, while keeping /kwunkgame active? Thanks!
